The question for ABC Managing Director, Michelle Guthrie in her attempt at make-work window dressing, rearranging of deck chairs and her quest to “tear down the traditional silos of television and radio to bring the broadcaster closer to the audience” The Australian — Stress feared as ABC tears down silos is how this will address and root out the fetid and entrenched left wing bias at the heart of the organisation?
